<take this you bug> Here is the info I have received on the MAKE command for the IBM-PC. There is a full UNIX-compatible version with extensions (what does that mean) available. It is called PolyMake and is available from: PolyTron P.O.Box 787 Hillsboro, OR 97123 503-648-8595 (this is from dir. assist.) There is also some version written for the Computer Innovations' Compiler for the DEC rainbow and runs under MSDOS but I do not have any other info on this. Also, there was a public domain version of a simplified make command posted a few months ago by allegra!watmath!watrose!jmsellens. There may be a few copies still floating around somewhere. Address repost requests to him. jmsellens also has a more recent implementation available for a fee (I think $25) that is supposed to be faster. I have not used any of these. I received a copy of the public domain make but it was written for the DeSmet C Compiler and we are running the Computer Innovations C86 Optimizing Compiler here. The DeSmet compiler apparently allows imbedding assembler code in the source file, delimited by a <#asm> and terminated with a <#>. I currently have someone working on converting the in-line assembler code to something that the CI C86OC can handle. He is at allegra!eosp1!lillios. Address questions about conversion to him or me. I will post summary info. That is apparently all that I have received so far. I hope this answers most questions. Except one - why don't we all go out and get portable UNIX's and forget about trying to get as much UNIX functionality out of our micro? <In case of flaming, the asbestos suit is on.> If anyone else gets info on makes, please post or mail me if not too much trouble. Ciao y'all.
